The department specializes on conforming diagnosis, to follow the course and progress of treatment to prevent the spread of diseases.

The laboratory runs 24 hours on call duty so that emergencies are handled any time they arise. Our blood bank system is well organized.

Since the incidence of HIV/AIDS, the policy of the hospital is to transfuse only when it is absolutely necessary to do so.

 All blood is screened before transfusion.
